ranking of the largest 50 US banks in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2010 witnessed some movement, thanks to three mergers announced in
December and January.

US-based unit of Canada’s BMO Financial Group. Harris Financial
shot into the top 20 US banks by assets, based on the combination
of Harris’ $70.2bn in assets and Marshall & Ilsley’s $50.8bn of
assets.
